Why We Love This Recipe

We have a favorite little place in Puerto Rico where they serve an amazing bean soup. After our second visit, I decided to recreate it at home. And WOW did it turn out great! Imagine making restaurant-quality Tuscan bean soup from San Juan Puerto Rico in your own home.

This recipe has become a family favorite and is easy enough to make that it’s become a staple in the fall and winter.

Hint: We actually like it better reheated the day after it’s made.

Ingredients

Exact ingredient amounts are listed on the recipe card.

Let’s Make Tuscan Bean Soup

  1. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot.
  2. Cut bacon into small pieces and cook them in the oil for 4-5 minutes until crispy.
  3. Dice carrots, celery, and onions and add them to the stockpot.
  4. Cook for another 5 minutes on medium heat.
  5. Rinse beans under cool water and add them to the pot.
  6. Add chicken broth and fresh rosemary sprigs.
  7. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer for 40 minutes.
  8. Remove the rosemary sprigs, and blend the soup with an emersion blender. If you do not have an emersion blender, add soup to a standard blender and mix until creamy.
  9. Stir in half n half and serve.

Build A Soup Gift Basket

I love to give food as gifts and homemade soup makes a gift that tells your friends they’re special.

Soup gift box
  1. Soup mug – you can buy really inexpensive and cute mugs at the dollar store or a thrift shop.
  2. A glass jar with a lid – I bought this one at a discount store. I found it on the clearance table so it was another inexpensive find. 
  3. Roll up a cute tea towel.
  4. A small bundle of fresh rosemary. 
  5. A couple of sesame breadsticks.
2 bowls of soup with a blue napkin and fresh rosemary sprigs and garlic toast

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • A pair of kitchen shears are perfect for cutting up ingredients like bacon and herbs. I used the shears to cut the raw bacon into equal-sized pieces.
  • Because the bacon cooks in a small amount of olive oil, it may splatter. Keep the burner on medium heat to help avoid the amount of bacon grease splatter.
  • Canned beans are packed in a liquid that is full of sodium. Be sure to rinse the beans thoroughly in cool water before adding to the soup.
